The vast majority of the aid remained in the U.S. to expand production, hire people, restore facilities, and replace old vehicles with newer ones sent to Ukraine. It’s the exact opposite of what he claims
The bitter irony of America’s present predicament is that the very people who cheer for permanent arms shipments to Ukraine also supported the de-industrialization of America. The very things you want us to send are things we don’t make enough of.

In case you don’t know this yet, CMU database group YouTube channel is simply amazing. Watching it regularly. Very much thought provoking, constantly getting a stream of ideas when listening. youtube.com/@CMUDatabaseGrou…

Yup. About 85% of the sources I follow on the Ukrainian side have gone silent in the past 96 hours.
Twitter has removed the UA two-letter country code for Ukraine from two-factor authentication. Ukraine has disappeared from Elon Musk’s virtual map of the world. The effect of this change is to reduce the presence of pro-Ukrainian, pro-democracy voices on this platform.

“They poured something into her mouth and hanged her in front of the courthouse.” Natalia Chorna warned her patriotic twin sister be careful when Russia occupied Skadovsk. She said Russian forces killed her in a public display of terror, seen by witnesses. ft.com/content/99349f01-c587…

Amid hubbub about the letter from Congressional Dems, I'm genuinely impressed by level of bipartisan support for 🇺🇦 in @ChicagoCouncil poll. The only thing Ds & Rs seem rather wary of is sending US troops to Ukraine. Everything else is cool globalaffairs.org/research/p… @RoguePollster

Most importantly, it's why millions of innocent Ukrainians are under siege, thousands dead and tortured, with Russian ethnic cleansing still ongoing in the occupied territories the appeasers would concede and call it peace—until Putin's next attack.

Calling for a ceasefire is obviously the wrong move (as it will gut Ukrainian progress and give Moscow time to regroup), while the rest of this letter reads like a blueprint for something that could be achieved only *after* Putin leaves power.
New: A group of 30 liberal lawmakers is calling on Biden to shift his strategy on the Ukraine war and pursue direct negotiations with Russia to reach a ceasefire. It marks the first time prominent Democrats have pushed Biden to change his strategy. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Russia says that it is relocating 500 Ukrainian children each day from Kherson to Russian territory. A harrowing admission of war crimes.

Fuck those guys.
⚡️Russia kidnaps thousands of Ukrainian children from occupied Kherson Oblast. Moscow is relocating 500 Ukrainian children living in the occupied territory of Kherson Oblast to Russia every day, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said on Oct. 15.

All of you who are saying that we have to give in to nuclear blackmail are making nuclear war more likely. Please stop. When you give in to it, you empower dictators to do it again, encourage worldwide nuclear proliferation, and make nuclear war much, much more likely.

When I was a child, my grandparents would take me to play in Shevchenko park. They lived a few blocks away, very near the heart of the city. To see the park targeted by Russian missiles this morning is terrorism and a war crime.

It is a deliberate decision to launch the strikes when Kyiv’s streets are at their busiest. Just as it is a deliberate decision to strike Zaporizhzhia residential buildings at night, killing Ukrainians in their beds.
Mass murder in Kyiv on a Monday morning. Cars with passengers incinerated after being hit by Russian missiles in rush hour. Buildings on fire. Putin’s response to the Crimea bridge attack is to slaughter the innocents.

Rising but can be declining if we threaten NOW to assassinate Putin if he (or anyone else) first uses nuclear weapons. A tactical nuke aimed at them and those around them. We cannot tolerate thugs and back down. Need to draw clear lines and clear consequences of crossing them.
Open your minds. Listen.

Defending Kiev and trying to retake Crimea is the same thing EXACTLY. Standing up to the thug Putin is key to having values rather than just self-interest. And it is in our longer-term self-interest too.
Two very distinct phases to this war: 1. War for Democracy - defending Kiev. 2. War against Democracy - attacking Crimea. The US accomplished something with #1. It should not support #2.

So the quote tweets and replies to this photo are a great example of how Russian propaganda spreads. Zaluzhni has had that bracelet on in countless photos but somehow no one noticed the swastika... Mostly because there isn't one.
На нашій землі триває боротьба, масштабів якої світ не бачив із часів Другої світової. Ми не маємо права перекласти цю війну на наших дітей. Ворога потрібно знищити тут і зараз. І ми це можемо зробити. #valeriizaluzhnyi

Let me share a horrifying story of a 52-year old Alla, a worker of a gas company in Russia-occupied Izyum. This is just a glimpse into the atrocities that Russia commits in occupied Ukraine 🧵 CW: torture, sexual abuse, suicide

I am so tired of people who know what oppression feels like still devaluing the oppression of others because it does not fit their worldview.
"The US backed a coup & the new coup government, which included some fascists, waged a war on Ukraine's Russian speaking population, & those in Crimea & elsewhere wanted to not live under that...Why are we risking a nuclear war over that?" @aaronjmate youtube.com/watch?v=jCQmVFqU…

When we give @Ukraine the support it needs to win the war, it serves to strongly deter other nuclear blackmailers in their territorial aggressions. Helping @Ukraine does not increase the probability of nuclear war, it reduces the risk of future nuclear conflagrations.
